Sean Stipp | Tribune-Review - Volunteer firefighters douse the charred remains of a home at 417 Hotel Road in Wilpen, Ligonier Twp., Thursday morning. The fire apparently was caused by an electrical problem in the kitchen of the home owned by Tom and Marti Sleasman, said Wilpen fire Chief Michael J. DiRinaldo. Marti Sleasman had driven their daughter to school and her husband was at work, the chief said. Their son was on the second floor getting dressed for school when he smelled smoke, jumped onto a porch roof, then to the ground, DiRinaldo said. The boy ran to a neighbor, who reported the fire at 7:30 a.m. Flames were going through the windows when the fire was reported. A state police fire marshal investigated. The house was not insured, the chief said on Nov. 14, 2013.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments  either by the same reader or different readers.

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
